VPC DISCUSSION:
No members of the public registered to speak in support or in opposition to this item. 
Staff Presentation: 
Mr. Zambrano provided an overview of rezoning case Z-40-23-2, describing the 
location, request, surrounding land uses and zoning, and General Plan Land Use Map 
designation. Mr. Zambrano then described the proposal, discussing the proposed site 
plan and elevations. Mr. Zambrano noted that staff received one letter in support of the 
project. Mr. Zambrano concluded by sharing the staff findings, recommendation of 
approval and the recommended stipulations. 
Applicant Presentation: 
Shaine Alleman, representative with Tiffany and Bosco P.A., introduced himself and 
his development team. Mr. Alleman stated that the market for commercial office, which 
the property is currently zoned, is not conducive for that type of development on this 
site. Mr. Alleman added that his team thought a build-to-rent community would make 
sense on this site given the surrounding land uses and noted that higher-density 
housing did not seem appropriate on this site. Mr. Alleman stated that illegal dumping 
on the property has been an occurring issue and a nuisance for the surrounding area, 
which will be solved once this community is built. Mr. Alleman shared the current zoning 
and General Plan Land Use Map designation. Mr. Alleman added that Arizona is in 
need of additional housing, noting that the proposal is a blend of apartment-style and 
single-family-style housing. Mr. Alleman shared the site plan, landscape plan, elevations 
and then summarized public outreach. Mr. Alleman noted that Gloria Pinkerton with 
Belcanto Block Watch came to the neighborhood meeting and at first was not happy

with the proposal, but by the end of the meeting she was supportive of the project. Mr. 
Alleman concluded that the applicant agrees with all of the stipulations and asked the 
Committee for their support.  
 
Questions from the Committee: 
Ms. Hall asked for clarification that it would be a gated community. Mr. Alleman 
responded affirmatively. Ms. Hall asked how pedestrians would get to the church to the 
west. Mr. Alleman responded that there will be pedestrian connectivity to the public 
sidewalk on Paradise Lane. Ms. Hall asked if there would be pedestrian gates. Mr. 
Alleman responded affirmatively. Ms. Hall asked why there was a connection to the 
private drive to the east. Mr. Alleman stated that two points of access are required, and 
they are in discussions with the property owner to the east, noting that it would be 
utilized for emergency access only. 
 
Larisa Balderrama asked if the units could be used as short-term rentals. Mr. Alleman 
responded that Nunns Construction will be the developer as well as the owner of the 
development, and that the intent would be to lease out the units for about a year. Mr. 
Alleman added that statistics are showing that tenants are staying in build-to-rent 
communities for twice the amount of time as a traditional multifamily development. Ms. 
Balderrama asked if they could be used as short-term rentals. Mr. Alleman responded 
that they could, but it would have to be through the owner of the site, and that the owner 
of the site, who would own the entire project, would want to rent out each unit.  
 
Travis Nunns, with Nunns Construction, stated that their intent is to not use the units as 
short-term rentals, and the intent would be to keep tenants long-term. 
 
Ms. Balderrama asked if that was communicated to the neighbors that came to the 
neighborhood meeting. Mr. Alleman responded affirmatively, noting that the Nunns 
Construction was present and was able to confirm their intent since they would be 
owning the project.  
 
Ana Bustamante asked for clarification that Gloria Pinkerton was not happy with the 
proposal. Mr. Alleman responded she was not happy with the application at first due to 
density, because she did not at first understand the type of project that was being 
proposed, but at the end of the meeting she said she was okay with the project.
